How do I manage low value assets?
Cheqroom can be used to manage a wide variety of assets. For low value items without individual identification, using bulk items can simplify distribution and management.
What is a bulk item in Cheqroom?
A bulk item in Cheqroom is an asset type tracked by total quantity rather than as individual units. You set a total count and Cheqroom tracks how many are available at any given time. Examples of bulk items include:
- Small accessories (batteries, memory cards, lens caps)
- Cables and adapters
- Consumables and disposable items
What can you do with bulk items?
When managing bulk items, you can:
- Set and update quantities as stock is added or consumed
- Monitor current stock levels at a glance
- Receive low-stock alerts when quantities fall below a defined threshold
- Check out bulk items as part of a reservation or kit
This approach saves time compared to tracking every individual item, while still giving you full visibility and control over your inventory.
How do you add a bulk item?
- Go to your inventory.
- Select Add Item.
- Choose Bulk Item as the item type.
- Enter a name, category, and starting quantity.
- Optionally, set a low-stock alert threshold so Cheqroom notifies you when stock falls below that level.
- Select Save to add the bulk item to your inventory.
